*Yawn*

Today is a day of mixed emotions for me - it is the day my ex got married. Now, don't get me wrong, I definitely got the better end of the breakup, but I have OCD, so I sometimes ruminate about the how and why of our relationship, and why it is that he found someone to marry, but I have not. There are people who will tell me to 'let it go', or 'get over it,' but I prefer to think of it as learning how not to make the same mistake again. Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it, and quite frankly, I need to be smarter and not date anybody if it's at all reminiscent of my year with him.

I enjoy doing things as a single person - I don't have family responsibility and can spend money on shoes, but I have a righteous goal of getting married. There are many things I feel I need to work on (just in case the Lord decides to start implementing Old Testament punishments again); like many of us, I am a work-in-progress.

So, that was the reflective part of the day, and then there was the lazy part of the day with new roommate Lisa D, who is AMAZING! We went to the gluten-free bakery, got tons of food at Safeway, and then proceeded to watch a few episodes of Vampire Diaries. We keep having a debate about getting a 10'x8' poster of Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley, but we really aren't sure where to find it. We also came up with a great plan to get Lisa on SYTYCD; her story involves a pet monkey and a footie pajama onesie. Stay tuned to Fox...

The last thing I did tonight was hit the corn maze with some of the LDS mid-singles. It was highly entertaining, especially when they decided to trust my map reading skill implicitly. I could have been leading these people to a chainsaw massacre, and they happily would have trotted along behind me. Actually, there was a guy in a full Gilly suit with a leaf blower wandering around, but he was more interested in screaming bands of teenagers than in our Mormon posse. The midsingles are a fun, nice group of people, and I hope to participate in more activities in the future.
